Let's take a look at some upcoming Intel CPUs.
i7-7740K Skylake-X - The ultimate 4 core CPU. Has the integrated GPU disabled, resulting in a 15 watt power reduction. Will OC to 6 GHz on air. Will absolutely crush every FPS average in every game ever.
i7-8700K Coffeelake-S - 6 cores, 12 threads of Ryzen killing power. Will OC to 5 GHz, outperform Ryzen in both single and multi core, and cost the same as an i7-7700K because Intel is just that nice. Look, two cores for free!
i7-7950X Skylake-X - 12 core, 24 thread MEGA-TASKING MONSTER. Nothing from AMD could possibly top this. Nope. Not ever. No other CPUs will need to be produced after this one because it will be perfect.

That sounds cool man, but how much for all that power? I don't need the mega tasking munster of it's gonna cost me 1500€
C is a disservice to intelligent programmers. It has almost 0 features that a modern and intelligent programmer uses to be productive. Since C is such a timesink, it's popularity is falling more than any other languages in the market.
C is dying and it should die ASAP. C programmers are actually retards in general. C is a small language to grasp, exactly the kind of shit that makes things retard friendly.
C has no advanced features like C++ does.
But as a newfag you are kinda in the right direction. C is for newbies. Think of it this way:
During ancient times, counting to 10 was a big deal and a person who could count to 10 was considered to be "wise".
Fast forward a few century counting to 10 is so trivial we teach this to toddlers. Now toddlers appreciate the vast "knowledge" of counting to 10 while matured brains are busy with modern technologies.
C is from stone age and the people who still preach it is like overgrown toddlers that can't learn advanced things. C is for lesser programmers.
C doesn't have delegates
C doesn't have resizable arrays
C doesn't have strings
C doesn't have string concatenation
C doesn't have namespaces
C doesn't have exception handling
C doesn't have closures in the standard
C doesn't have unit tests
C doesn't have Function overloading
C doesn't have memory safety of any kind
C doesn't prevent memory exploits and has no bounds and runtime checks
C doesn't support dynamic method loading/creating
C doesn't even have generics and templates
C doesn't have meta programming
C doesn't have mixins
C doesn't have higher order functions
C doesn't have contract programming
C doesn't have inner classes
C doesn't have function literals
C doesn't have array slicing
C has a very limited support for implicit parallelism
C doesn't even have string switches
C is a cancer that plagues the modern software industry
C++ fags BTFO!
What would be an acceptable alternative for C in low-level programming?
doesnt that just mean that none of those "features" are necessary?
I just did a small project in TDD, I have a feeling that it would have been much easier writing it in think-write-refactor-commit style. Is TDD only for a 3+ member team or did I miss the point?
>>60266194
>small project in TDD
The real payoff to TDD doesn't become really apparent until you're dealing with larger code bases.
It's a good way of making sure your code is doing what you think it is, and making sure the latest fix doesn't break anything else.
>>60266395
this. in my experience its not worth the time if its just a small project, but it really helps when theres a shit load of code and you want to make sure your changes didnt break anything
>>60266395
So you would not use it in lets say, custom CMSs, a 5k loc codebase?
what is the best screen capture software?
>>>/sqt/
>>60265924
I use Fraps
nvidia shadowplay/amd relive are the best when it comes to quality and cpu usage
obs studio is pretty easy to set up and has a lot of features but quality can be lacking
I wouldn't really bother with fraps, camtasia, dxtory, or whatever else since IMO the 3 best options are all free and simple to use

>Navi is AMD’s third generation graphics architecture designed under the umbrella of the Radeon Technologies Group. The graphics architecture will build on the power efficiency principals of Polaris & Vega. Navi is believed to be the first GPU microarchitecture conceived entirely under graphics guru Raja Koduri. It will employ “next gen” memory, likely third generation stacked High Bandwidth Memory or GDDR6 depending on the product to boost performance and efficiency
>Navi is the first graphics architecture from the company built on Globalfoundries’ upcoming 7nm FinFET process. Based on what Globalfoundries has so far publicly disclosed regarding the 7nm FinFET process Navi should land sometime between 2018 and 2019. You can expect more details regarding Navi’s timing on May 16th.

Whats the most you've ever fucked up while building a rig? Heres two processors ive absolutely destroyed due to incompitence
>>60264380
plugged an ISA card in
the wrong way around
The worst I did probably was with those Socket A coolers that had no levers or anything but that you had to bend into place with a screwdriver. I lost grip with the screwdriver and scratched the motherboard. Only two tracks broke and I could solder them back into working order, however.
>>60264380
Swapped two semi-modular PSUs attempting to check if one of them was causing issues. Kept the same cables because I didn't think it'd be a problem and I was too lazy to change everything, but turns out there's no standards for those cables and different manufacturers will have different stuff in each pin. Fried a 1TB disk and lost some data, though not much.
Annoying, but at least I learned my lesson. Thankfully it didn't fry my GPU or anything on the mobo.
>people pay actual money for a windows license when building their PCs
Why would you waste $100 on intellectual property licenses when you could spend it on something real like a better GPU?
Not to mention, most people buy the OEM builders windows kit, on machines they're building for personal use.
That means if you don't immediately resell the computer you built, you're violating the terms of the OEM windows license and your legal standing is equal to that of someone who pirated windows.

lol is that actually true, because if so.. that's hilarious

If you're looking for purchase advice, READ THE BUYERS GUIDE FIRST. Then post, stating budget and requirements (e.g. size and performance).
Don't buy anything OTHER THAN T, X AND W/P SERIES if you want the Real ThinkPad Experience™
For freefags who don't mind a slower PC and need LibreBoot:
T400 - 14", normal size
X200 - 12.5", ultraportable
For normal users who like the classic keyboard:
T420 - 14", normal size (supports CoreBoot)
X220 - 12.5", ultraportable (supports CoreBoot)
For users who want to hardmod and get objectively better specs (and want to keep the classic keyboard):
T430 - 14", normal size
X230 - 12.5", ultraportable (supports CoreBoot)
For users who want the best specs, like the modern style, and want the best specs:
(The touchpad is replacable on all of these with a hardmod)
T440 - 14", normal size, ULV (worse processor, much better battery life!)
T440p - 14", normal size
X240 - 12.5", ultraportable, ULV (worse processor, much better battery life!)

Asking again since it got lost in last thread. T430: Nvidia GPU or not? The Nvidia models seem to be at a premium price

Repeating question from previous thread:
Trying to build my very own crappy linux distro. So, I compiled kernel (4.11) and BusyBox, copied all the stuff to disk image, created symlink bin/sh -> /usr/bin/busybox.
After trying to boot it in qemu-x86_64 with "init=/bin/sh" I get this. ext4 is enabled in kernel config and my image is ext4. Where did I fuck up?
>2.write a few simple bash scripts
Yes I know I could write it myself but I thought that somewhere inside those 50k+ packages I would find such basic functionality.

So for the past year my little sister has been bugging me for a mac because, "They are the best for art and stuff. Windows is lame and sux lol xD" Well I've actually managed to get my hands on a Mac, which Im planning on giving her.
Thing is though, I hate Apple sith a passion. What do you guys think is the best way to completely wipe this guy and put on a Windows OS? Not looking for bootcamp this shit, I want to completely make this a Windows only machine so when she boots it up for the first time she immediately sees that beautiful Windows logo.
How much are you getting paid to post threads like these?
>>60261672
Nothing? What exactly am I supposed to be shilling here? I just want to prank my sister. If you got nothing to contribute then fuck off to your backwoods mountain with your paranoia.
Just install Elementary and see if she notices.
